34 York Crescent, Clifton, Bristol - JDF is interested in WW's 'anti-Chalmerian [Thomas Chalmers?] speculation. I can well believe that your logic will tear down rather rudely his elaborate oratory. I mean that the arguments he uses are not of a nature to bear exact scrutiny'. WW asked JDF some time ago about the densities of the planets: In 'Grant's excellent history of astronomy are many of the determinations of the masses'. JDF's book on Norway is about to be published [Norway and its Glaciers visited in 1851: Followed by Journals of Excursions in the High Alps of Dauphine, Berne and Savoy, 1853].
